Value and Significance of Ghadir

[11] The day of Message and Guardianship


The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said :
O Moslems! Those who are present here must pass this to those absent that :
�I introduce to those who believed me and accepted me as true , Ali�s guardianship . Be aware that Ali�s Guardianship is my guardianship and my guardianship is the guardianship of my God . This was a covenant and treaty from the part of my Lord that he ordered me to convey to you . �
Biharul Anvar , 37 : 14 , Number of Tradition 35


[12] Day of Feeding

Imam Sadeq (peace be up on him) said :
Ghadir feast is the day in which the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) appointed Ali (peace be up on him) as the standard-bearer for people and explained his virtue on this day and introduced his successor . He observed fasting on this day as thanksgiving to God . And this day is a day of fasting , worship , feeding and meeting brothers and sisters in religion . This day is the day of acquisition of God�s satisfaction and rubbing Satan�s nose on the dust .
Vasail us Shia 7 : 328 , within Hadith 12

[13] The day of charity

The commander of the faithful (in the sermon on the day of Ghadir khom) said :
�When you meet each other greet with Salam , shake hands and congratulate the blessing that has been given to you by the Lord . These words must be sent to those who are not present and do not hear by those who are present and listen .
Rich must support the vulnerable and the powerful must support the weak . The holy Prophet (peace be up on him) has commanded me these things . �
"Vasail ul Shia 7 : 327 . "

[14] The day of surety

The commander of the faithful (the title of Imam Ali) said :

[16] The day of charitable deeds

Imam Sadiq (peace be up on him) said :

Thank God for this blessing that he has bestowed upon you . Do associate with family so that the Lord helps you more . Do favors to friends that the Lord makes your friendship permanent . May Lord reward you in manifolds . You will not find another blessing similar to this [day of Ghadir] in other days . �

[19] Day of Praise and renunciation

Hussien ibnu Raashid said :
I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be up on him) : �Do Muslims have any other feast other than those two feasts?�

I asked him : �Which day?�
He replied : �The day in which the commander of the faithful (Imam Ali; peace be up on him) was appointed as the Leader of people . � I told him : �Dear sir , what should we do on this day . �
He replied : �Observe fasting , Sing the praise of the Holy Prophet and his clan . Seek renunciation from tyrants who do injustice to them . Because the Prophets commanded their successors to celebrate the day in which the successor is chosen . �
Mesbahel motehajjed : 680

[20] The feast of Succession

Imam Sadiq (peace be up on him) said :
�Remember the Lord by observing fasting , worship and remembrance of the Prophet and his clan on the day of Ghadir , because the Messenger of God recommended to the commander of the faithful to observe fasting on this day as the other Prophets too recommended their successors celebrate it and they too did so . �

The value of the deed in this day (Qadir feast) is equal to eighty months and it is appropriate that the remembrance of the lord and praising up on prophet be increased in this day and the man expand to his family .

"Mesbahel Motehajed : 736 . "


[25] Praying in the Ghadir Mosque

Imam Sadiq (peace be up on him) said :

�Offering two Rak�at (units) of prayer at any time of this day he wishes , preferably close to noon , the time in which the commander of the faithful (Imam Ali; peace be up on him) was declared as appointed to Imamate , is similar to have been present on the day at Ghadir . �
